Chapter Eighty-Three: Scramble
It was a sleek South Sea pearl.
It seems to be almost as big as the pearl on the queen's phoenix crown, but if there is really such a pearl, the strange building should be sent to the palace as soon as possible, instead of being auctioned here with great fanfare.
Shen Xizhi had never looked at anything before, but when this pearl appeared, his eyes were attracted.
She didn't rush to ask for the price, but first listened to the prices offered by those people, and then compared them, and probably knew where their bottom line was.
"Five hundred taels. She spoke.
"One thousand taels. "It's the person who didn't say anything for a long time and took a picture of "Reunion Picture".
"One thousand three hundred taels. "This is Yan Yuyu.
Shen Xizhi immediately frowned, and after shouting 1,500 taels, he was successively pushed away by a "1,800 taels" and a "1,900 taels".
"Just add a hundred taels, and I'm embarrassed to say that I came out of the Prime Minister's Mansion. The man mocked Yan Yuyu, and suddenly pulled Shen Xizhi into the water again, "But this broken bead master doesn't like it very much, if you are willing to beg the master, the master will no longer increase the price." ”
"Why do you bother to force others? Even if you like something, you will definitely break the truth of dignity for it. It's just that before Shen Xizhi could speak, Yan Yuyu couldn't hold it back, walked to the window, and lifted the curtain that blocked her vision. It's just that the people who are shouting don't seem to want to be recognized, and the curtain over there is always covered.
Yan Yuyu had no choice but to sit back again.
"Princess, do you want the slave to ask?" The atmosphere in the building is not good at this time. Shen Xizhi and Yan Yuyu stopped bidding, and seeing that the pearl was about to enter someone else's hand, they suddenly ......
"Five thousand taels. "Everyone's eyes were drawn to the person who had just come in.
Shen Xizhi couldn't help but look down when she heard this familiar voice, and Jiang Jingyu had already gone upstairs, so she only saw a silhouette.
The voice of "five thousand ......" sounded, then broke for a moment, and then there was an angry shout, "A broken bead, the master doesn't want it!"
So the pearl was bought by Jiang Jingyu for five thousand taels.
This is the highest price ever paid in an auction so far, but it's just a pearl. Many people think that the pearl is beautiful, but it is worth a few hundred taels at most. So Jiang Jingyu's sudden hand almost made those people think that they were collectively hallucinating.
Many people talked about it in private, and some craned their necks to look at the second floor.
"Rest easy, everybody. The steward smiled and reassured everyone, and subtly led the conversation to the remaining ten auction items. Let the auction go ahead.
When the pearl was sent to Shen Xizhi by the people of the Strange Building, Jiang Jingyu's figure happened to appear at the door.
Bai Ruixin hurriedly saluted, suddenly thinking that Jiang Jingyu must have come for Shen Xizhi, and besides, she also took pictures of what she wanted. So after the salute, let the catkins take the red coral ornaments.
"The prince, the princess, and the courtiers suddenly remembered that there were still some things at home, so they took their leave. ”
As he spoke, he squeezed his eyebrows at Shen Xizhi, and he wanted Shen Xizhi to boast about himself.
As soon as Bai Ruixin left, Wen Ru also used the excuse of looking for someone to change the pot of hot tea, and followed along.
Several people had the heart to let the two of them be alone, but Shen Xizhi was bitter in his heart. How did she know that Jiang Jingyu would suddenly appear, and even threw out five thousand taels with a wave of her hand.
As a prince, even if he is not bad for money, if he spends 5,000 taels to buy a pearl and the people in the palace know, he will definitely have a beating in the open and in the dark.
But - I bought it all.
Shen Xizhi handed him the auction list prepared by the Strange Building on the table, "Is the prince here for a gift?" Although the things in front of me are rare, they don't fit the situation very well, but these things in the back can still be used." ”
She also gave Jiang Jingyu a place, but unfortunately Jiang Jingyu just glanced at her and sat next to her. Sweeping the things on the auction list at a glance, Jiang Jingyu put it down casually, "The Reunion of the Mountains and Rivers is in Jiang Tianbao's hands, and the rest can be ignored." ”
After a pause, he added, "If you have something you like, you can take a picture." ”
Shen Xizhi didn't care about his later sentence, but looked at the auction list again, and compared a few items that had not yet been auctioned with "Reunion of the Rivers and Mountains", if it was put in an ordinary place, there were one or two pieces that were better than the "Reunion of the Rivers and Mountains".
But it happened to meet the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, the most ingenious.
Thinking about it like this, Shen Xizhi understood, so he had to throw down the auction list with a wry smile.
But Jiang Jingyu didn't seem to care much, as if he had expected it.
But the more silent he was, the more bottomless Shen Xizhi's heart became. Since he doesn't think what's left is worth buying, why is it still here?
Isn't he busy?
Could it be that he wants to use this to beat himself?
A series of questions made Shen Xizhi's eyes involuntarily glance at Jiang Jingyu.
At this time, the eight-to-last item had been auctioned in the lobby.
Shen Xizhi always couldn't help but pay attention to Jiang Jingyu, but ignored the auction below. And Jiang Jingyu suddenly looked to the side and frowned.
Shen Xizhi could even hear the "chuckle" in her heart, she couldn't figure out Jiang Jingyu's thoughts, and she was like a big enemy for a while.
But Jiang Jingyu didn't say anything and went out in silence.
The sound of the door closing softly sounded, like a big stone that had finally fallen in Shen Xizhi's heart.
She exhaled with relief, she really couldn't figure out what Jiang Jingyu was running this trip for. Just to tell her that those things aren't worth buying?
It's kind of funny to think about.
Suddenly, the sound of slamming the door sounded, and after getting Shen Xizhi's consent, the steward who presided over the first half of the auction walked in with a smile.
"Disturb your guests, and ask them to forgive their sins. ”
The steward was the first to enter, followed by seven maids. Each maid had a tray in her hand, but it was different from the one in the auction house, and these things were not hidden now.
Shen Xizhi, who had seen the auction list, could also see at a glance that these were the things on the auction list.
Can...... What was it sent here for?
As if seeing through Shen Xizhi's doubts, the steward closed the door and said with a smile: "Prince Yu is the big customer of our Strange Building, in the past, when Prince Yu arrived, we would first hand over the items to be auctioned to the prince. ”
I see.
"The prince has just gone out, do you have to wait a while?"
The steward said: "The prince and the princess are of one heart and one mind, and the princess is not here, so the princess can naturally choose for the prince." ”
Seeing that she didn't speak, the steward didn't say a word, and silently led a few people to stand in the private room. And the lobby is less and less loud, and it is conceivable that it will not be long before it will be the turn of an item in the private room to be auctioned.
It's not a problem to spend so much.
Shen sighed lightly in his heart, and was about to say that he didn't want anything, when the voice of 027 suddenly sounded in his head. She couldn't help but hook the corners of her lips, and finally picked a piece of two carved kisses.
